Pebble Beach Systems To Partner with Harmonic Inc

02/09/2014

Vislink plc (Vislink or the Group), the global technology business specialising in high performance wireless communications products and services for the broadcast, defence and security markets, is pleased to announce that Pebble Beach Systems (PBS), the Groups wholly-owned subsidiary which it acquired in March 2014, has signed a strategic partnership with Harmonic Inc (Harmonic) (Nasdaq: HLIT) the worldwide leader in video delivery infrastructure for emerging television and video services.

Harmonics production-ready technology enables content and service providers to efficiently create, prepare, and deliver differentiated services for television and new media video platforms.

The partnership will enable Harmonic to sell packages integrated with PBS products to the international broadcast market.

As part of the partnership agreement, Harmonic will place an initial order with PBS valued at 2.0m receivable in 2014 to secure PBS product for onward sale in its integrated packages.

Subscription

In parallel with the strategic partnership, Harmonic has subscribed for 4,000,000 new ordinary shares of 2.5 pence each in the Group (New Ordinary Shares) at a price of 50 pence per share by way of a direct subscription with the Group (the Subscription).

The proceeds of the Subscription will be used by the Group to further strengthen its balance sheet.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM (Admission). It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 4 September 2014. The New Ordinary Shares will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Groups existing ordinary shares.

Following Admission, the total issued ordinary share capital of the Group will comprise 122,603,134 ordinary shares of 2.5 pence each. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Group under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Furthermore, following Admission, Harmonic will be interested in approximately 3.26 per cent. of the Groups issued share capital.

John Hawkins, Executive Chairman of Vislink, commented:

This agreement is another key strategic partnership for Vislink and reinforces our strategy of moving into software and providing customer centric, solution-led and best-in-class products which enable Vislink to successfully capture new expanded markets. This agreement will also provide significant new channels to market for our software solutions. We are delighted to welcome Harmonic as a partner and shareholder.

Peter Alexander, Senior Vice President of Harmonic, commented:

We are pleased to seal this strategic partnership with Vislink and become aligned with their interests as a shareholder. We are both innovation leaders in video, and see significant synergy across our customer base and product lines. Together we can grow market share and broaden our addressable markets globally.
